MPEG has a long history in dealing with DRM issues. Gradually, MPEG is moving from defining hooks to proprietary systems (MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Version 1) to more encompassing standardization in Intellectual Property Management and Protection. MPEG feels that this is necessary to achieve MPEG’s most important goal: interoperability. The need for a standard rights description language has been identified in MPEG-4, MPEG-7 and MPEG-21.
MPEG has a long history with Digital Rights Management issues. The MPEG specific term for DRM is ‘Intellectual Property Management and Protection’ – IPMP. In this paper, DRM will refer to the general issue of digital rights management, while IPMP will denote MPEG specifics. At the invitation of Renato Ianella, work group chair, this paper will give an overview of MPEG’s work in the DRM space. This covers the existing standards MPEG-2 and MPEG-4, the upcoming multimedia description standard MPEG-7 and the Multimedia Framework MPEG-21.
